The Shunzhi Emperor was indeed very capable of giving birth, living to be 24 years old, with eight sons and six daughters, which was also considered to be highly productive.
As for why the high yield is high, the daughter-in-law is more, and there will always be a harvest for sowing widely.
The survival rate of these children in Shunzhi is not too high.
In ancient times, the survival rate of children was generally very low, and although Shunzhi was a son of heaven and had many children, only three of the eight sons survived to adulthood.
The three children were Kangxi's older brother, Fuquan, the crown prince born to Concubine Dong, who was given the title of Prince of Yu and lived to the age of fifty
The Kangxi Emperor Xuan Ye lived for 68 years.
The third surviving son was Chang Ning, the Prince of Heshuo Gong, aged 47.
Chang Ning had a concubine who was the daughter of Wu Yingxiong.
If according to the setting of "Deer Ding", Princess Jianning is the sister of Kangxi, then Changning marries wu Yingxiong's daughter, and this generation is chaotic.
However, the historical Princess Jianning was the fourteenth princess of Emperor Taiji, the sister of Shunzhi, the aunt of Kangxi Changning and others, and Changning married Wu Yingxiong's daughter was considered a cousin, and Wu Yingxiong's daughter was not necessarily the daughter of Princess Jianning, so this cousin did a lot.
The Shunzhi Emperor had six daughters, but only one survived, namely the second daughter of the emperor and the eldest princess Of Shuogong, and the other daughters all died prematurely.
Heshuo Gongyi (pronounced: true. Honest and generous meaning) The eldest princess, known as princess Cuihua in the folk, I don't know if the common people think that the emperor is from the northeast, and must love to eat sauerkraut, so he gave Shunzhi's daughter such a down-to-earth elegant name.
Princess Gong was married to Aobai's nephew Nardu.
The year of marriage was the 6th year of Kangxi, and Aobai's power reached its peak, and Xiaozhuang married the only daughter of the Shunzhi Emperor to Aobai's nephew in order to win over Aobai.
Two years later, in the eighth year of Kangxi, Aobai was taken by Kangxi.
The Nardu family was also deposed, and a few years later, after the Kangxi dynasty stabilized his power, Nardu was granted an idle pension.
In addition to his own daughter, Shunzhi has three adopted daughters.
The emperor himself can give birth, why should he adopt a daughter?
It's about nepotism.
In order to maintain relations with their vassals, emperors often married their daughters to important ministers or their descendants. He would also marry the daughter of a minister to the royal family.
For example, Kangxi married the daughter of the chancellor Nian Ling for his fourth son Yin Chan, who was also the younger sister of Nian Qianyao.
What if the emperor marries his daughter, and the daughter is not enough, or the emperor is not willing to marry his daughter?
Cold.
They would adopt some royal women as adopted daughters and marry them as their own daughters, so as to achieve the purpose of co-opting the ministers without sacrificing the happiness of their own flesh and bones.
For example, famous like Princess Wencheng, .
Princess Wencheng was not Li Shimin's daughter, and Li Shimin was reluctant to marry his own daughter far away from Tibet, so he recognized a woman in the imperial family as his daughter and married Songzan Gampo. Princess Wencheng and her father were famous in the commentaries, Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County, who was Li Shimin's cousin.
Shunzhi adopts a daughter for the same purpose. He adopted three adopted daughters from the clan.
First, Princess Duanmin.
Princess Gulun Duanmin was the daughter of Shunzhi's cousin Jidu, who was a bearer, and Shunzhi's second empress, Empress Xiaohuizhang, was Jidu's sister-in-law.
When Lord Duanmin was six years old, he was promised to the grandson of King Manzhu Xili of Horqin's Luodarhan County.
The two have lived for more than fifty years and are also happy.
When Duan Min was in her seventies, Yongzheng made her Princess Gulun Duanmin.
The princesses of the Qing Dynasty were divided into Gulun and Heshuo, with Gulun being the highest and the second.
The two words of the princess reinforcing Lun in front of the princess are the highest honor of the princess, and Gu Lun explains that it is the meaning of concubine, honor.
The Qing Dynasty imitated the rules of the Ming Dynasty, and the daughter of the emperor was called a princess, and the daughter of the prince of the county was called Gege, so if the Qianlong Emperor saw Qiong Yao's aunt's return to Zhu Gege, he would have twisted his nose and crowned his daughter as Gege, who would be insulted.
As the adopted daughter of Shunzhi who received the title of Gu Lun, Princess Duanmin was considered to be extremely favored.
Yongzheng made her a Princess of Gulun, presumably to win over the Mongol princes.
Princess Gulun Duanmin lived to be seventy-seven years old, the longest-lived of all Shunzhi's daughters.
Second, Princess Roujia.
Princess Roujia's father was Nurhaci's grandson Wang Yuele of Anjun, and in the second year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Princess Roujia married Geng Juzhong, the grandson of Geng Zhongming, the King of Jingnan.
Geng Juzhong has an older brother who is very famous, called Geng Jingzhong.
In the thirteenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Geng Jingzhong and Wu Sangui rebelled together, which is known in history as the Sanban Rebellion.
Princess Roujia did not see the Rebellion of San Francisco, and she died in the twelfth year of the Kangxi Dynasty at the age of 22.
After the Three Rebellions, Geng Jingzhong was executed by Ling Chi, and although Princess Roujia died, Geng Juzhong was not affected by zhu Lian and was able to die well.
I have seen some film and television dramas in which Princess ChaoRoujia and Kangxi have an emotional line. About three years older than Kangxi, Princess Roujia is also the persona of the little sister, and Princess Roujia and Kangxi are considered to be the same age as each other in the deep palace of Bauhinia City, and it is not known whether they can say some intimate words.
Third, the soft princess.
Princess Shunshun was the daughter of Shunzhi's brother Shuosai the Prince of Seiseiyu.
Married Shang Zhilong, the seventh son of Shang Kexi, the King of Pingnan.
Shang Zhilong has always been by Kangxi's side, and his eldest brother Shang Zhixin has imprisoned his father Shang Kexi and rebelled.
However, Shang Kexi was loyal to the Qing Family until his death, leading to the Three Rebellions, and the Shang family was the least affected.
Because Shang Zhilong had always been by Kangxi's side and loyal, the Kangxi Emperor trusted him.
In the forty-first year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Shang Zhilong was made the Minister of the Inner Guard, which was the captain of Kangxi's guard.
The descendants of the famous Sanfan Wu family, the Geng family, and the Shang family of the Qing Dynasty all married the princesses of the royal family, and since they married the princesses, they must stay in the capital, which is the proton.
The protons of the Geng family and the monks had a good ending, and Wu Yingxiong was more miserable.
Wu Yingxiong married the 13-year-old Princess Jianning in the tenth year of Shunzhi, and kangxi was born the following year, so wu Yingxiong was cut by Princess Jianning, after all, Wei Xiaobao had not yet been born when he became a parent.
Before Wu Sangui rebelled, he sent someone to take Wu Yingxiong back to Kunming, but Wu Yingxiong did not agree, but only sent his eldest son Wu Shipan back to Kunming.
Wu Sangui rebelled, Wu Yingxiong and his second son Wu Shilin were killed by Kangxi, and later failed three times, and Wu Shipan, who succeeded Wu Sangui to the throne, committed suicide and was sent to the capital.
After the Three Rebellions were put down, the two young grandsons who lived with Princess Jianning were hanged by Kangxi, and the Wu family was cut down and eradicated.
Princess Jianning lived for another 30 years after her family was destroyed, and Kangxi died in December of the 43rd year.
From this point of view, the Princess Jianning who married Wu Yingxiong was really not as happy as the Jianning who married Lord Wei in the parallel world.
